I searched for and bought all of the oufits myself~!
For Gundan Nottorinin, we wore underwater goggles on our heads (The director for the MV for Shitsuren Osojinin likes goggles?)

They have a real homemade feel to them
but thanks to the professionals
the MV is stylish and high quality
It was well done!

We also saw it for the first time while it aired ♡

We really didn’t have much time
and shot 2 MVs in 3 hours, but
the MVs turn out really wonderfully.
It made me think how grown-ups amazing.

Saitō Yuri and Nishino Nanase joined
the Sayuringo Gundan Elite Guards.
Takayama Kazumi joined as welll!

Nakada Kana is a Kenkyuusei!

(LOL)

The Catering Competition

The red team was utterly defeated

Sadness.

But the MCs, Rafurekuran,
were so cute, I was amazed.
An annoying sort of cuteness. No, no, they were very cute.

Afterwards

we visited Makuhari Messe

and did

a raffle and

a Sayuringo Gundan Mini Live as well!

We performed three songs,
the new song 「GunGun Gundan」, which we had performed at the Tokyo Dome concert,

the classic song 「Hakumai-sama」, and

the parody 「Ringo no Pakuri Kara」!

To the people who gathered to watch us, thank you!

Also, the kenkyuusei Nakada Kana-san!

was summoned in a hurry at the request of the gundan members
to come to the venue.

She is really capable!!

During the new song,

she held up a board with the response call for the song and led the audience so that people who don’t know it can follow along.

During Hakumai-sama and Ringo no Pakuri,

she was running around and jumping up and down more than anyone else.

She fired everyone up amazingly ( T_T)＼(^-^ )

Every live concert needs a Nakada Kana ( T_T)＼(^-^ )

She was sweating the most ( T_T)＼(^-^ ) So lovely

And gundan members!

Thank you very much
for always going along with my selfish actions without being annoyed at all
and actually giving lots of advice when we get stuck!
Everyone always says, “We’re good with whatever the gundan leader wants to do,” and it really makes me feel safe.

Every one of us gets worried at times.

Wait, is this gonna be all right?
Is it ok to do this?

In those times, just ask a member of the Sayuringo Gundan,
and everything will be resolved!

When I am wrong, they will tell me that I am wrong.
When it is okay, they will tell me that it is okay.
They are such wonderful gundan members!

It has been a long time since we did a live performance so I was nervous,
but it was fun~!

It looks like I’m getting too passionate, so
day 3 will be for another time! LOL

Matsumura Sayuri (Oh~) will be appointed
as the first ever seasonal model for new brand(Oh~) 「R4G (A-ru Fo- Gi-)」,
created by Baroque Japan Limited,
which is known for popular brands such as 「MOUSSY」, 「SLY」, and 「RODEO CROWNS」. (yay~ ✌︎(‘ω’✌︎ ))

(Clap Clap Clap~)

「R4G」 stands for 「Respect for Geeks」,
It means respect for geeks, or “Otaku.”

(Thank you for giving me such honor!)
This new brand aims to bridge the gap between 「Anime」 and 「Fashion」 (I’m the bridge ( ✌︎’ω’)✌︎)
The first anime project is to have develop merchandise for 「Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion」.(As expected, the #1 anime in Matsumura Sayuri’s ranking!)

In the Spring 2018 special edition of 「SHEL’TTER MOOK」, the fashion magazine you can “buy,” (you can buy it~!), developed by Baroque Japan Limited, a look will be developed from the fashion of anime 「Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion」 and sold by the new brand 「R4G (A-ru Fo- Gi-)」 and Matsumura will appear in it. (will appear in it!!!!!)

With that said,
Thanks to Baroque Japan-san,
I got to dress like Lulu (short for Lelouch).

The new brand 「R4G」.

How wonderful.

A fusion of an anime that I love and fashion, which I love.

And Matsumura dressing like Code Geass, which I love.

How wonderful this is.

10 years ago on that day…..

I watched Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 last episode in real time.

My eyes were overflowing with tears
from the emotions as well as the sadness that it had ended
and I cried for 2 hours.
That day, I wrote a 10-page letter

on the magnificence of Code Geass
and my thoughts on Lulu-sama for my non-anime otaku friend!!!

(When I gave the letter the next day in school,
my friend was confused, but received it.)

To think that I joined Nogizaka46,
became a CanCam exclusive model,
was appointed
to be a seasonal model visual for 「R4G」-san,

and get to dress like Lulu-sama before anyone else!

Never in my dreams did I imagine this could happen !!!!

I feel like this will go in a textbook as an example of 「You never know what will happen in life.」

By the way, the friend I mentioned above
went to see the 「Code Geass Lelouch: of the Rebellion Exhibition」
so that’s proof that the letter I wrote 10 years ago
didn’t go to waste.

But it really is amazing~!
What is so amazing you ask?

There is Orange!

With an orange-colored T-shirt!!!

This is the best.

And, and

There is also a C.C. straitjacket.
It’s an item you dream of having.

There really is significance to each item.
As a Code Geass-loving person,

everything is precious.

The creative director is
globally active and living in New York,
the Japanese multi creator,
Fantasista Utawara-san.

He was there to add writing
and drawings on the spot at the photoshoot location and was wonderful.
Thank you for Lulu-sama!!!!!

Even to people who aren’t interested in anime,
you should watch Code Geass!
Try it out like you might try out watching The Walking Dead!
If you start watching, there’s no doubt you’ll be hooked~~~!!

Other than top and bottoms
from 「R4G」-san,

there are also caps, pouches,
and other small items as welll!

To those who aren’t up to
the excitement level in this blog,
please still check it out ( T_T)＼(^-^ )

A limited time shop for
‘Shōnen Ashibe GO! GO! Goma-chan,’ which I have a role in,
is taking place at Date Plaza on the 1st floor of Shinjuku Alta. ♡
(Date Plaza is an open space in front of Shinjuku Alta for special events)

I went to check it out briefly.
It’s super close to the station,
and is at the entrance of Shinjuku Alta
so it’s really easy to get to!
By all means, if you’re going to Shinjuku,
please check it out~ ♡
There are lots of merchandise that will sooth your soul ★

↑ It’s something like this
Ashibe-kun and Goma-chan are there ♡
When I was taking a picture.

We saw each other went “Oh ♡”. (LOL)

It’s there till the 27th!

Sleepy Sleepy Ikuchan in Hong Kong.

Sayuringo-san is in Ikuchan’s blog.
In that picture, Sayuringo-san is
is simply showing off her chocolate dog.

My beloved Shiraishi-senpai
She came into the picture
so my face looks nervous

I’m a rose, too ↓, in Hong Kong

This girl is seriously too cute.
I just keep taking pictures of her
and keep taking videos of her in Hong Kong.

At C3AFA Hong Kong 2018,
I tried to learn to speak in Chinese and Cantonese!

I had trouble with the different pronunciation between Chinese and Cantonese,
so right up to the event, I was practicing and listening to the interpreter.
However, I didn’t do that well and was sad about it by myself after the concert.
Then Manatsu, who also tried to speak in Chinese and Cantonese, came over,
and the two of us cheered each other up while crying.
Then all of the other members came over
and said stuff like “It’s all right~” “Thank you for trying your best”
“Zhōngyì (Cantonese for ‘I love you’)” (LOL) and comforted us.
It once again made me realize how kind the members are!!

It’s embarrassing so I’m writing it all vaguely,
but it’s a story about how things were really great behind the scenes ☆
